I know nothing of this player, but I have looked him up, look at the league he is playing in.
Now look at the best team he has played for (highest level)
Now look up there partner teams, They partner a team in the 4th Tier of American Football.
The guy is 34, has limited experience at top flight football (at least he made it) and knew Villa when he was a second division player.
Would you really give a non national slot up for a player of this calibre (I don't mean to be detrimental) when there are better players available in the USA.
